Data retention scope creep

With our new mandatory data retention laws now in effect, the government is moving to expand their scope. A number of agencies have applied to be given warrant-less access to retained data (including the Victorian Racing Integrity Commissioner) and the government is pushing to get information from banking and financial services also included (see Delimiter's article).

We're getting local - come along

Help us hire a Communications Intern

To run an effective campaign we're going to need a Communications Intern to support our communications and media relations.

We've already received over 30% of the funding we need. Once we get to 60%, we can start the hiring process. 

Your donation of just $7.50 per week will help us to make this opportunity a reality.
